contributions will be used wisely and appropriately. Current and potential donors
can utilize the resources of the ECFA to ascertain important information on
the university’s financial accountability records and obtain appropriate
public disclosure of APU’s financial practices. Azusa Pacific University

organizations enjoying membership with the ECFA today. Each member must adhere
to ECFA’s seven standards of stewardship to maintain membership.
